La circulation du discours: le dit d’origine énonciative indéterminée en français et en polonais

Résumé

Circulation of the speech: Speech of unspecified enunciation in French and in Polish

The article deals with different approaches towards the description of utterances of undefined origin rumours, gossips, anonymous accounts, etc.. Depending on theoretical assumptions, these utterances either may be classified as the examples of specific accounting speech or they stay unclassified. On the basis of L. Rosier’s conception of “discourse circulation” circulation du discours, the phenomenon of anonymous, unkind or untrue remarks pronounced behind one’s back was analysed: the social use of potin gossip vs. the one of plotka in both French and Polish were compared, in particular their linguistic aspects and specific stocks of phrases lexical, phraseological and others were examined. Though many similarities were observed, some cultural differences were also registered. This point of view was described not only in relation to other theories proposed in linguistics in France J. Authier-Revuz, Z. Guentcheva but also against discourse analysis S. Moirand.
